Despite being an old movie, this is very cute and likable. For its time, it has good production value. It is a tad predictable at times, but still adorable and fun to watch. I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a funny and cute story, while seeing some adorable puppies along the way. The acting is very good as well and doesn't seem as staged as it is in some other films.

I was 13 when I saw this movie in the theater in 1966.I fell in love with this breed and the movie.They are clever and mischievous and make you laugh every day.The movie is very accurate about Dachshund behavior.But it does have one major flaw that only Dachshund owners would know.Dachshunds do not yap.They have the wrong bark in the sound track.They have a very deep voice. And they can be very laud.But other than that this movie is a joy to watch.Especially with my Dachshunds.Poor Brutus. I can not help but feel sorry for him.And he isn't ugly either.Disney made very good family movies in the 1950' 1960's. But none of their newest movies measure up.

This movie is full of both gags, and tear jerking moments. It starts off with Mark Garrison (Dean Jones) and his wife Fran (Suzanne Pleshette) taking their Dachsund Dante to the vet. She is having pups. Well she gives birth to four puppies. The vet, Dr. Pruitt (Charlie Ruggles) gets Mark's attention by telling him about a sickly Great Dane puppy that has been abandoned by his mother.To make a long story short, Mark takes the pup home, it grows and makes a huge mess. Towards the end of the movie Mark shows everyone (including his wife Fran) that Brutus, the Great Dane, isn't just a confused dog that thinks it's a Dachsund, but a friend that needs to be understood.I was really shocked, because I loved dogs, and this movie really got me into the Dachsund and Great Dane breed. It was really good, but it wasn't great. I have to rate it at a 5, because of it's age and all that.

This movie is excellent. Funny gags throughout the film and just a great comedic story. If you are a dog lover than you will be an "Ugly Dachshund" fan. The dogs are adorable and the actors do their part to make this wonderful family comedy. Totally under-rated.I suggest sitting down a group of young kids and asking them what they think of it, I'll bet that the movie keeps their attention from beginning to end. This is a classic Disney movie on the same level as the "Love Bug" series and all of the other great film s released by the company during those years.I recommend "The Ugly Dachshund" to anyone who loves family movies. *****
